Er zullen in Nederland weinig van dit soort #Viltrox-lenzen zijn verkocht maar toch, een gewaarschuwd mens telt voor twee. Ook #Tamron waarschuwt voor de update van #Nikon.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify the type of image: hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

what we have now on the "fediverse" is a good spot to take a breath and relax a bit every now and then, in between bouts of doing work "in the real world" to bring capitalism to its knees and ultimately behead the monster that immiserates us all; the "fediverse" can't be the end goal of this project because it's not enough on its own and it's still full of reactionary, regressive thinking, and it capitulates too much to the patterns and structures of corpo socials, which are all deeply embedded in capitalism

if you want better social media you must begin by building communism

by which I mean: it's not enough to make [xyz corpo platform but it's foss]; capitalism must be destroyed utterly at the root -- then "good" social media might begin to become a possibility

Historical question: why do we do an oral thesis/dissertation defense at the end of a PhD?

Similarly, I can't seem to find a claimed 'first' time a defense was given for a degree. What was the problem being solved?
